Design and validation of advanced driver assistance systems
doctoral thesis
The ever increasing societal cost of road traffic in terms of accessibility, safety, and sustainability, has stimulated the development of advanced driver assistance systems (ADASs). An ADAS is a control system that uses environment sensing to improve driving comfort and traffic safety, by assisting the driver in recognizing and reacting to potentially dangerous traffic situations. Examples of ADASs are adaptive cruise control for automatic car-following; forward collision warning systems that warn the driver of imminent rearend collisions; and pre-crash systems that improve the effectiveness of safety restraints and subsequently minimize injury severity, by activating them before a collision occurs.
